   Extractions: Ursula K(roeber) Le Guin (1929-) American writer of science fiction and fantasy, poet and critical essays. Le Guin has examined large ethical, moral, and social issues in her work and her fame has extended beyond the genre boundaries. Her thought-provoking novels include The Left Hand of Darkness (1969), which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, as did The Dispossessed (1974). The celebrated Earthsea books, written for young adults, have been compared to C.S. Lewis 's Narnia chronicles and Tolkien 's The Lord of the Rings "Oh, damn. She liked the young, and there was always something to learn from a foreigner, but she was tired of being on view. She learned from them, but they didn't learn from her; they had learnt all she had to teach long ago, from her books, from the Movement. They just came to look, as if she were the Great Tower in Rodarred, or the Canyon of the Tulaevea. A phenomenon, a monument." (from 'The Day Before the Revolution', the Nebula Award in 1974)

   Extractions: BIO Ursula K. Le Guin is the author of more than three dozen books. She was awarded a Newbery Honor for the second volume of the Earthsea Cycle, The Tombs of Atuan, and among her many other distinctions are the Margaret A. Edwards Award, a National Book Award, and five Nebula Awards. She lives in Portland, Oregon. Ursula K. Le Guin 's impressive body of work consists of six volumes of poetry, twenty novels, over a hundred short stories, four collections of essays, eleven books for children and four volumes of translation. Her latest young adult novel, VOICES , is a coming-of-age tale set in a time and place of extreme oppression, when reading and writing are considered acts punishable by death. In this interview, Le Guin discusses some of the ideas presented in the book, such as the power of words and storytelling, describes her own origins as a storyteller and shares her thoughts on the task of day-to-day writing. Question: Memer claims that stories - not history - have given her all the truths she "needed and wanted: about courage, friendship, loyalty." Some people view story and history as the same, with history being the collection of individual stories. Where do you see the line between history and story, at least in Memer's mind?

   Extractions: By Faith L. Justice As a reader, I have a complicated relationship with Ursula Kroeber Le Guin, the writer. It seems she's always one step ahead of me, reflecting my feelings and passions in her fiction. I read the young-adult "Earthsea" books while grappling with adolescent angst. I found my own deeply held social justice convictions explored in her science fiction of the 1970s and '80s. Her collections of short stories were required vacation reading, when I had the leisure to admire her lyrical style and glory in how she puts words together. Le Guin once said, "The writer cannot do it alone. The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story."

   Extractions: Ursula K. Le Guin was born in 1929, the daughter of a writer and an anthropologist. She published her first novel, Rocannon's World , in 1966. Her fourth novel, The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, a feat she repeated with The Dispossessed (1974). The Earthsea trilogy established her as a master of fantasy as well as science fiction. She has also published poetry and short story collections, and she received the Pilgrim Award in 1989 for her critical writings. Ursula K. Le Guin Website Chris Moore Advertisement Ursula K. Le Guin has something of the quality of legend. She is the author of novels that are among the foundation stones of modern SF and Fantasy; her writing is extraordinarily wise and graceful, a salient influence on the style and subject matter of the speculative genres since the late 60s; she has won innumerable literary awards, and in the last twelve years has been revisiting in a fascinating manner the fictional milieux that generated her early and her lasting fame... Le Guin wears many creative hats: as poet, essayist, translator, writer for young children, illustrator, mainstream literary author; but it is surely in her Fantasy and SF that her especial genius resides. Her two great series, the

   Extractions: Visually, her website reflects the atmosphere of her works, particularly the Earthsea series, which has recently received public attention due to film adaptations such as the TV mini-series and the animated movie by the famous Japanese Studio Ghibli , headed by the acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki. Alongside some other world-renowned authors, Le Guin has put an embargo on communication via e-mail, explicitly asking the prospective writers not to send her manuscripts for review, because that "is a paid, skilled job performed by professional writing consultants, manuscript doctors, and literary agents." The fans can ask for Ex Libris bookplates by sending self-addressed stamped envelope.

Then he left Chukulmas and went up on the Mountain to the Springs, and then went to live in the Lower Valley. He lived outside of Tachas Touchas as a forest-living person. He did not dance, and did not enter his heyimas. At the time of the Moon dancing he always went up into the southwest ranges. One time he did not come back.

    Extractions: Posted by Cory Doctorow , October 14, 2007 10:03 AM permalink Some of you have seen Ursula K Le Guin's open letter to me about a Boing Boing post I made some months ago (if you haven't read it, you can see it here ). I'm very sorry about it. I've considered her one of my heroes since I read The Dispossessed as a young teenager, and the last thing I wanted was to cause her distress. In a nutshell: I quoted, in its entirety, a one-paragraph story that Ms Le Guin sent to the fanzine Ansible, in which she made fun of a book review in Slate that said that Michael Chabon "has spent considerable energy trying to drag the decaying corpse of genre fiction out of the shallow grave where writers of serious literature abandoned it." Le Guin's paragraph was a long one, about 500 words, and I pasted the whole thing in, because I thought it was delightful. Ms Le Guin disagrees, and though I haven't heard from her personally, my understanding is that she disagrees on the basis that taking the whole story can't be fair use. I have taken the piece down. The last thing I wanted to do was quote Ms Le Guin against her wishes, and had I known sooner that she objected to being quoted, I would have removed it sooner. It was never my intention to post Ms Le Guin's work against her will. I apologize to her for causing her distress.
